Midnight Part 2
"Of course!" he grinned, "That is why I stationed him for guard duty right then. It won’t take long for that to get out into the public and from then on you will be treated with the respect given a queen. Your father was the brother of the king and framed for an assassination attempt and the two of you fled for your lives. You don’t like to talk about it because the memories are painful. You took up lives as peasants and came to me seeking refuge, that is when I fell in love with you," he smiled, drew her close to him, and kissed her deeply.
Ian walked in and they slowly parted, "I heard that your bride had arrived, but Gower tells me that she is also a royal."
"Yes, Ian, you should sit down and I will ... fill you in," Mikail said to him. Mikail told him about the history he and Kollin had devised for Sylvia and her ... father. Sylvia only smiled. Mikail had learned much in th

Chapter 21 The Assassin’s DemonstrationThe minds of the men reeled with the events of the past few days. They had almost completely forgotten the existence of Retribution when the General had informed them of his decision to marry. When his future bride had entered the camp, they had thought her a peasant - she was revealed a princess. She had won their hearts with her kindness, then her father showed up. The medicine man whom Captain Tane had call for (and had obviously known for quite some time) when Victor was ill was revealed to be prince in hiding who would s

As the five of them started back to camp, Mikail told Sylvia how impressed he was and Ian tried to keep his mouth from hanging open. "I knew you held back, even in battles, to keep from revealing your true identity but I did not know you werethatgood," Mikail said to her. She stepped in front of him and pulled his face down so she could kiss him."Am I ‘that good’ to you when I visit your bed?" she whispered sensuously. She slipped Veritás out of his hand and back into its sheath."You are better than that," he replied huskily. Their three companions forgotten, he picked her up and began carrying her to his tent. His thoughts were only on getting her back out of the leather scouting outfit. Mora cleared her throat. Mikail spun around to face her, "Mora, you know we are already wed.""The five of us are the only ones who know

Mora returned to the tent to find her gone and thought it strange. She started searching the camp; no one had seen Sylvia leave the tent. The camp became as busy as a beehive. Torches were lit and men dragged away from anything else to begin looking for her. Sylvia heard the noise and came back to find out what was going on and cursed. It was a chore getting back into her tent without being seen and even more so getting back out again after she changed her clothes.She got far enough out of camp and then came running back asking what was going on. The men settled down and Ian asked her where she had been. "I needed some time alone." Ian asked both her and Mora to follow him into a vacant tent."What do you mean not telling one of us when you are leaving the camp, Sylvia?" he asked urgently. It was obvious that he had not been worried for her safety, but everyone else had.

It took four days for Sylvia to be well enough for them to move again. When she was, they pampered her until she made Ian order them to stop. "Sylvia, they love you as much or more than they loved Victor," Ian told her, "Give them some slack.""I have. I can’t stand it anymore.""It was only two days."She gave him a look that could have wilted a rose and he went to tell the men to treat her the way they had before this cycle. They had trouble adjusting back to that until they saw her in the ring with Ian, continuing her training.They were still a week away from Chadwick manor, and Sylvia still did not know where they were going. General Tane’s men did not know, either. They still thought him a common man who had done well in the army and had been rewar

Chapter 23 Lord ChadwickMora and Sylvia usually rode behind the carriage Mora had brought with her. Mikail had requested that they ride in it, but Sylvia didn’t like to most of the time because she felt like she was inside of a cage. Within the week, they were passing Ian and Mora’s manor. Sylvia commented on how beautiful it was and wondered why they were passing it. So many believed that Mikail had grown up on Ian’s lands that even Sylv

"I have told him ... he would have figured it out, anyway. He has vowed to keep our secret." She scowled at him, but thought that if Mikail trusted him, it must be all right."Please address me only as Mikail’s bride or by my name. I aspire to be no higher than the man I marry," she said cautiously. Ansel smiled and bowed again. She turned to Mikail, "I believe you have yet to address your regiment." He offered her his arm and the three of them adjourned to the hall where a feast was to take place as soon as Mikail was finished informing his men as to what he truly was – aside from their general and trusted leader.The clamor of everyone talking at once died down as Mikail entered the room with Sylvia on his arm. Everyone watched as they walked through the crowd to the center of the room and Mikail hoisted himself onto a table so he coul

"What now?" Ian answered. Mikail looked up, too worried at this point to be startled by anything. It was comforting to see Ian standing there."She intends to expose herself to the entire regiment," Mikail sounded as though the world were coming to an end. It hit Ian almost as hard, but knowing that Mikail needed the support that Ian had given so many times, he didn’t let it show."Mikail, come now. You trained these men. They will listen and understand." He said it in his most reassuring voice and stance. He was good enough that he almost convinced himself that there was nothing to be concerned with."Is Mora with her now?" Mikail asked to change the subject."Yes, she said something about ‘putting things in order’ before she left my side, but I daresay, we will not be deprived of the company of our wive
